Denard Robinson (RB, JAX) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX Upside CURRENT ADP: 206 STD, 176 PPR ANALYSIS: "Shoelace" Robinson was positively electric from Weeks 7-10 in 2014, when he took over the starting job from the woefully ineffective Toby Gerhart. He'll likely open the season behind rookie T.J. Yeldon, who should handle the first and second-down work early on […]

Karlos Williams (RB, BUF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX Upside CURRENT ADP: 290 STD, 277 PPR ANALYSIS: With Fred Jackson now out of the picture, Karlos Williams should be the clear backup to LeSean McCoy in Buffalo. He was truly impressing in the preseason until he was forced to undergo a mysterious emergency surgery, the details of which are still unknown. It […]

Martin Prado (2B / 3B / OF, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: From a counting stats perspective, Martin Prado has been disappointing in 2015. When you really think about it though, he’s pretty much done as much as possible given his lineup. The Marlins have been without Giancarlo Stanton for quite some time, limiting Prado’s run-scoring and driving-in […]

Every year, fantasy owners look to make bold gambles in the draft in hopes of looking back on a championship squad of unlikely heroes.

T.J. Yeldon, JAX RB: 2015 Dynasty Rookie Profile

Toby Gerhart proved not to be the answer that the Jaguars were looking for at running back in 2014, and so with their second-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft they selected Alabama standout T.J. Yeldon. He will be given every opportunity to establish himself as the feature back in Jacksonville, and could make an […]

Dynasty Rookie Profile: Tennessee Titans WR Dorial Green-Beckham

The Tennessee Titans clearly held offense as a priority headed into 2015 NFL Draft, and took wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham with the 40th-overall pick after drafting quarterback Marcus Mariota in the first. The plan is for the two college stand-outs to mature together and establish themselves as the core of an offense on the rise, […]

Dynasty Rookie Profile: Detroit Lions RB Ameer Abdullah

The Detroit Lions are well aware that Joique Bell is towards the tail end of his career, and sought to improve their running back stable by selecting Ameer Abdullah with the 54th overall pick.

Jedd Gyorko (2B, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ughhhhh, Jedd Gyorko.

In his last 30 games, he’s hitting .298 with five homers and a very solid 19 […]

Eduardo Escobar (SS / 2B / 3B / OF, MIN) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Boy howdy is Escobar thriving atop the Twins lineup. In his last 15 games, he’s slugging an absurd .732 while hitting .341 over that span with seven RBIs, 13 runs scored, and four big flies. Another well-rounded player eligible at multiple positions (SS, 3B, […]

Ketel Marte (SS / 2B, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ketel Marte has been a revelation for the Mariners in a mostly lost season, as he is hitting .307 in the 88 at-bats he’s had with the big club. He doesn’t have a homer yet, but that’s to be expected from a light-hitting middle […]

Andres Blanco (2B / 3B, PHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Blanco has emerged as the semi-regular third baseman for the Phillies, but he’s eligible for second base on almost every platform.

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 8-9 Current ADP: 95 STD, 88 PPR ANALYSIS: Former superstar Larry Fitzgerald is getting older and will likely lose a lot of target to Michael Floyd and John Brown, but that doesn't mean he has quite faded into fantasy irrelevance. Fitzgerald’s numbers were lackluster in 2014, mostly due to the […]
